The nature of vmy invention consists in arranging two'ovens,.one with adirect and the other a return flue, so that either may be heatedseparately, as desired.

It also consists in the employment of a hinged oven, carrying acirculating iue with it, and placed in front of the stove. l

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construof tion and operation. v

` Figure 2, a sectional side view, and

Figure 3, a sectional top View, showing the arrangement of the bottomlues. The back oven, A, is arranged with a common return ue, formed bythe division-'plate a, shown in iig.

3. The damper; b, closes the flnerunning back from the lire, and theslide b controls .the iiue extending around the forward oven.

-c is the'damper, which controlsithe outlet to the Pipe d is a slide,whieh'opens'a passage from the grate e into the forward oven, thussecuring perfect ventilation.

G is the ash-pan, and F, in fig. the draught-slide. The forward oven,Das shown' in iig. 2, has a ue,

E, extending over the top of the same, thence downward in front of thestove, and connecting with the return Hue' under the other oven.

This oven may be stationary, with doors at the sides, or, Where the'dooris placed in front, a section of the flue, E, may be attached andcarried with the door, or the whole oven may be hung upon joints, asshown in g. 1, the valve g being so arranged as to close the flue E,when the oven is swung back, such valve being again raised to open theiiue bythe act of closing the oven.

The division-'plate h, under the forward oven D,

v serves to throw an equal amount of heat over the bottom, the heatbeing again brought toward the centre of the stove by thedivision-plates t 12',thenceentering a branch of the return iiueextending under the back oven.
